我們邀請到了兩個來賓

Today we invited you guys over
To make our own Thanksgiving meal
What do you guys usually have for Thanksgiving in the States?
Mine is like a special
With my family kind of tradition
We buy KFC and then we just all eat it at home
I don't know if it's like Asian-American
Or just our own family tradition
What about Meaghan?
Okay, with my family, it's a
A bit more traditional I think
We get this giant turkey
And then we also have mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, green bean casserole
For dessert, we have pumpkin pie and cheese cake
Oh, and croissants, I forgot
Croissants
But that's not a traditional thing
I think that's like your family
So for you it's KFC
For Meaghan it's croissants
Yeah, yeah, there you go
So, today we're going to make our own Thanksgiving meal (dinner)
We're not going for everything
We don't have six hours
And we're gonna change a little bit
We're not gonna use turkey, we're gonna use chicken
We're going to head into the kitchen and start the preparations
We're gonna start with the chicken first and then Pierre's gonna
I'm gonna help with the chicken
Try it out first
Meaghan's gonna do the mashed potatoes
I'll be the filmographer
I'll be in charge of the camera
You are teaching me cuz I don't know anything
Like, how to prepare this at all
First step is to marinate the chicken (Alright)
We gotta prepare the sauce
First is the soy sauce
I can do this
Pro, one
But your hands are kinda shaking
I'm nervous, I'm so nervous, I don't know how to make food
Next is, the wine (the wine)
Next we have the sugar (Okay)
Are your sure we just want three, I mean
If you're eating this, I feel like we should at least put like
The whole bag
Pepper
It doesn't matter how good it tastes
It just has to look good (yeah)
And now, we're gonna pour it onto the kitchen
The kitchen? Alright
Chicken
Pour it onto the chicken
Hey, did you do that back and forth just so you could cut it?
To the right…
Guys, this is going in anyway
This is, this is going in for sure
Evenly, spread it evenly
I'm so nervous
Yeah, just pour it down, yeah
You're doing great
And now we're gonna massage it
Wait, what?
Oh hey, she likes it
Now we're gonna cut the stuffing for inside the chicken
We're gonna cut everything here
Carrot, onion, bell peppers, lemon grass
That's how lemon grass looks like?
Yeah, this is lemon grass
Do you want it like
Thin slices
That's good
Like that thin?
Yeah, that's good
Preheating the oven
I've cut onions before and they made me cry, oh god
So, our stuffing is done
It's actually the first time I've ever stuffed
Shove it in, yeah
Be gentle (Sorry)
Be gentle
Is it okay (yeah)
Last step is to put the butter
What's the chicken's name by the way
Bertha? That's really good
Okay
Alright Bertha, let's go, we're going for a walk now, let's go
Alright, Bertha, you're going inside the sauna now
Get cozy in there
We're using 220 degree Celsius for 20 minutes (Okay)
Thank you for inviting me
Time team switch?
Okay, so next up is our mashed potatoes
Yes
Did you want me to make the mashed potatoes because I'm Irish?
No, but I'm sure (not racist)
No, not intentional, yup
Back to my natural job
We're gonna put the whole thing inside
Add a little bit of salt with water and then we'll cook it
We could always spill two spoons but we can go for four
Okay so now our potatoes are cooked and we're gonna strain it
So that we get all the water out
Ooh it looks so good
They smell so good oh my god
A little bit, just like
Just a little bit more
These two
Just eating away at our mashed potato
So mashed potato is done
Okay, we're all done here
How long did we take
Like six, or seven
We've been here for like days
I think more like two hours or so
About two hours (yeah, about two hours)
We've readied the chicken, mashed potatoes, pumpkin
Just for decoration
Now we're gonna head on into that room and let's talk about Thanksgiving
So, we're back here
Ta-da (Thanksgiving dinner)
A table full of food
Just to be clear, we made all this
All of it
This and this, homemade
All of it, even the coke, we made it
I prepared it
You know, actually, I'm a pescatarian
Oh yeah
So I can't have any of these
This is my only dish
You know what
It probably knows how to swim
So that's like fish (yeah)
But pescatarian means that you could eat
You can't eat meat unless it's seafood
Yeah
Or chicken
No
Yeah, you look up pescatarian
I'm just joking
You can just try the mashed potatoes
Oh, it's good (yeah?)
It's good
Do you want some gravy?
Yeah
Thanksgiving, do you guys usually come together the day before?
We have the main thing the day of
But like, for school, we're off
Yeah, work is closed usually on Thanksgiving Day as well
Okay
And this huge sale starting at midnight usually
The day of Thanksgiving
So it's a Thursday
It's called Black Friday
Right?
You just kinda really jumped to the......
Oh I'm sorry, yeah
Start over, start over, go, go
Start over
And so people usually like start lining up
Like they'll eat dinner or something maybe at like 3 in the afternoon
It's crazy what ends up happening
I've never been to it
So Thursday we have off for school and work
And then the following Friday
Thanksgiving is not on a specific date
It's on the third Thursday
So it changes every year
Yeah, it changes its date every year
So it's not like Halloween where it's like October 31st
Yeah, so it's always Thursday, Friday off and then
Long weekends, Saturday and Sunday
Alright Bertha
Time to try you
Ready to have you Bertha
How is Thanksgiving compared to
Say, Christmas
For my family
Well, Christmas in the States is a lot bigger
We'll have off like a month for Christmas and New Years
For my family in particular, specifically with the food
Usually we'll have a turkey and a ham
But pretty much everything else is the same
For Christmas though, you give presents
Yeah, more presents
And Christmas tree
Yes, and Christmas tree
If you missed a Thanksgiving, is that a big deal in the family?
Like with me being here,my family's always pretty sad that I'm not there
And for Thanksgiving, the main thing you do
Like a reason for it now is like you give thanks
Like, that's why it's called Thanksgiving
Thankful for and people usually go around and say what they are thankful for that year
Well at least with my mom
She'll go I'm thankful that all of you are here to celebrate with us
Don't cry
Except for Meaghan
What made that difference
Is it religious reasons?
No
Why is Christmas more
I think it's just because a lot more people get more time off
So everyone could be together
Yeah, it's more like the country
Thanksgiving, if you're not religious, what do you do when it's your time to go around giving thanks
Well Thanksgiving is not really a religious holiday
Oh, it's not?
No, Christmas is a religious holiday
Thanksgiving is the pilgrims from England
They travel to America to settle
They didn't know how to survive
And then the Indians taught them how to plant crops
And then after the harvest they had like a big meal to give thanks to the people who taught them
What we learned in school was Christopher Columbus in 1492 (No)
Isn't that that one?
No! No!
Am I just mixing stuff up (Yeah)
And then they're like, they're like
Oh, hey thank you oh
And the Native Americans were there giving them corn (He's a bad student)
Clearly a bad student
What do you guys like most about Thanksgiving
All the food
Yeah, the food
All the food
Well Thanksgiving is very food-focused
So usually after you eat you're just like
Everyone takes a nap
Food. Rest
Yeah, that's it
I think Thanksgiving is really different here in Taiwan
Yeah, how is it like here
It's more of a I think commercial thing now
Department stores, you know, they will open up shops with banner saying
Oh it's Thanksgiving sale
And a lot of Taiwanese they mistake Halloween with Thanksgiving
They kinda mixed them together because of the pumpkin, yeah
To wrap up, let's just talk about the food that we made
Not bad
I have to say we did pretty well
We did good (yeah)
Mashed potatoes' really good
Yeah, the mashed potatoes and the chicken is also really good
Yeah the chicken is really good, I did not taste it
It looks good
This actually took a little bit longer than I thought it would
This one
No, no, no, actually this one
This one
Cuz it looks so plain
It's so weird, I never knew that it would take that long
We also brought in all the stuff you talked about so the KFC that your family has
Pumpkin pie and cheese cake that you guys have
We haven't done English Corner for a while
So today, we're trying something new
It's a fresh take
I feel like it's more accessible for people to understand because there's more context
So I'm not sure how you guys felt
If you have any suggestions for our future English Corner videos
Leave it down in the comment section below
We had fun making these food
Yeah, a lot of fun
Especially the chicken right
Yeah the chicken
Hopefully this video has given you guys more insight into how the American holiday works
And how it compares to Taiwan
